"Felsschlucht mit Wasserfall" (Rock Gorge with Waterfall) is a monochrome drawing by Johann Friedrich Morgenstern, a German landscape artist active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The work depicts a waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff, with verdant foliage framing the scene. Morgenstern's detailed rendering of the natural world showcases his mastery of the landscape genre, capturing the beauty and tranquility of the natural world. The drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, reflects Morgenstern's artistic sensibilities and his fascination with the romanticism of nature.
